Ingredients

For the Fish

  • 4 thawed cod filets about 6 oz each
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt

For the Dipping Sauce

  • ½ cup mayo
  • 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 2 tsp cajun seasoning

Instructions

  • Pat the thawed fish filets dry with a paper towel, then coat with the oil and set aside.
  • Mix breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a medium bowl. 
  • Dip the oil-coated fish filets in the breadcrumb mixture, coating the fish filets completely one at a time, pressing firmly so the breadcrumbs stick well.
  •  Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray, then set the fish filets in the basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the dipping sauce ingredients. Serve the fish with the sauce and lemon wedges!

Notes

  • The dipping sauce isn’t traditional tartar sauce, but it tastes so good with the fish! It’s spicy and pairs perfectly with fresh lemon and cod! 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. 
  • You may need to air fry the filets longer if they are particularly thick.
